Without further ado, here are my 30 items for the 30 for 30 (with a brief revision since the first posting):

(The checkered shirt was a birthday present from my parents; everything else you've seen before :)

(The striped sweater is new; and I used a gift certificate from my grandparents to get the orange and beige sweaters; stealing a sweater from a friend was an accident, I swear)

(Obviously, my loft dress made it into another 30 for 30)

(yes, this was a last minute addition thanks to tastymoog's suggestion)

I learned from last time and only picked things I really love, in a mix of colors that will all go together. I also chose fewer shoes, because I found that mattered less in round one. And I added more cardigans than most people will because it's getting really chilly here! Accessories don't count, so I'll be wearing all the tights, necklaces, and scarves that I want. And because I rarely photograph my coats, I'm not including those either--if it's cheating, then I don't want to play fair.

A final confession: I'm not batting an eye at 5-6 weeks without shopping but I'm a little nervous about flexing my remixing skills amongst the best of the best, so I need lots of moral support to make it through--here's to 30 days of strengthening my creative muscles!

whew! What a relief! Going from what you learned the last time, I think I'll be OK :) GREAT selection! All of em! SO CUTE! I can't wait to see all your outfits! So I'll give you my best:Moral Support! Moral Support! Moral Support! rah! rah! rah!

I look forward to seeing what you'll come up with! These seem like really good picks. I included the gray version of that yellow J.Crew skirt in my 30...such a versatile choice! My items will be posted tomorrow. Swing by BestFootForward and check them out :)

Great pieces! I'm can't wait to see your remixing. I'm actually not as worried about the remixing as I thought I might be the last time this came around and I passed on it... but we'll see when we get 20 days in if I still feel so optimistic!

I'm actually kind of excited about not shopping for 30 days. I have even thought about extending the shopping ban until Christmas. I have so many things that I don't appreciate in my closet, haha. I think it helps that there are so many people participating though - moral support rocks! =)

Great picks! I am still working on mine. I'm having such a hard time deciding, because I've never done anything like this before. I LOVE that J Crew skirt. I love it every time you wear it. I wish it came in my size.

Yay! I am so excited to see your remixing. The pieces you picked out look great - classy, stylish and a nice mix between basics and embellishments! I am participating this time round (so excited about that also!) and know I will be inspired by you. Your blog is awesome, Tania! :)

Tania, what a selection! I'm ridiculously excited about that sexy Target skirt, hahaha... yeap gal, you look sexy on it! ;) I'm a hundred per cent sure you and your 'layering fairy' will finish this challenge succesfully! Hahahaha, I'm here to support you! Starting from tomorrow (Monday) I won't miss any of your looks! All the best wishes for ya! Good luck friend!!

Ahh, I'm excited to see you do 30 for 30 again! Fun fun fun. I really like your tops, especially the striped one and the pretty orange one. I'm (sorta kinda) considering a little at-home-only 30 for 30, but does anyone else feel weird about a shopping ban at the start of the holiday season? I find that my closet is a huge beneficiary of holiday season because my attention to buying presents means I find great things for me too :-)

eeek I just picked all of my clothes and I'm starting to feel nervous about my creative muscles. I'm having the first timer jitters. Let's exchange moral support. I'll start first. Hooray for all of your awesome picks! I'm in love with pretty much every piece.

Loving your choices! And I completely agree, you have to pick only the items you really love, because otherwise you won't have as many options, especially in the last weeks when things get a lot more difficult. Yay, here goes round 2! - Katy
